Measuring levels of genetic variation and determining how that variation is partitioned among subpopulations are important aspects of characterizing populations, especially endangered species. Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA variation has been assayed in this study to examine the genetic structure of the only remaining wild population of ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) in the United States which occurs in the southern part of Texas. Mitochondrial DNA variation was strongly partitioned between the two subpopulations of ocelot in south Texas as well as among those populations and the more continuous population of ocelot that exists in the northern Mexico states of Tamaulipas and Vera Cruz. Nuclear microsatellites revealed not only genetic subdivision among the three subpopulations of ocelot examined, but also that the level of variation seen in the Texas subpopulations is considerably less than the variation seen in northern Mexico. Nuclear microsatellites were also used to compare the genetic variation in several populations of bobcat (Lynx rufus) with the ocelot in south Texas and northern Mexico. The bobcat is considered a habitat generalist whereas the ocelot is a habitat specialist, and the differences in genetic variation in the subpopulations of these two species may be related to the differences in habitat utilization. Several recommendations based on the genetic data have been provided as a method to increase the probability of survival of the ocelot in Texas. These recommendations include the use of dispersal corridors and the establishment of new populations in areas where suitable habitat exists.
